A.1.2 CONNECT MONITORS?
COMPUTER MONITOR
With the power off, connect an external computer monitor to a DVI port on TriCaster’s
backplate, using an adapter if necessary.
SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION:
Q: My monitor seems to work when powering up, then displays a "No Source" (or similar)
message instead of TriCaster’s Startup Screen. What can I do?
A: Some analog monitors may not correctly communicate with the system. If this occurs, try the
following:
1) If you only have one monitor, try connecting to the other monitor port on your
TriCaster. (e.g. ‘projector out’)
2) If possible, try connecting your monitor with a DVI cable instead of a D-Sub (VGA) cable.
SECONDARY COMPUTER MONITOR (OR PROJECTOR)
TriCaster supports the use of its secondary output connector by means of its VGA Out feature.
This output can serve as a supplementary program output for projection, or for operational
monitoring purposes (see Section 8.1.4).
1. Connect the external device to the secondary output on the rear of the TriCaster using
an appropriate cable (and/or adapter, if required).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home page of the Startup
Screen .
3. Click the Live icon on the Sessions page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter (or click
the Start Live Production link).
